Abstract
We developed a supersensitive capillary reaction kit intended for the direct and qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus in saliva and nasal swabs. It enables sensitive and specific detection of the SARS-CoV-2 spike antigens in respiratory specimens more accurately than most PCR method within 5 minutes. Our rapid capillary kit will help not only fight but also end COVID-19 by providing the first sensitive self-diagnosis at home as well as POC clinical diagnosis at the health care facilities.
Prepare the specimen by collecting saliva, sputum, or nasal swab for testing
Dispense 2~5 drops of the specimen into the sampling tube (provided) filled with a general transfer pipette
To prepare a specimen solution with a nasal swab, insert the testing swab into the sampling tube, roll along the side of the tube 5 times, and discard the used swab to biohazard waste.
Mix the content by pipetting up & down gently
Dispense 5 drops of mixed samples into the sample well of the cassette (provided).
Observe the appearance of the blue line for 1 min and record the result.
